Scott Huntington Holman (born September 27, 1962) is a former wide receiver in the National Football League.

College career[edit]

Holman played for the Oregon Ducks and was a starter as a junior and senior. He finished his collegiate career with 48 receptions for 782 yards and four touchdowns.[1]

Professional career[edit]

Holman was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1986 as an undrafted free agent. He was cut at the end of training camp, but was later re-signed by the team after injuries to the Cardinals receiving corps.[2] Holman played in three games with one start before being waived a second time, catching three passes for 41 yards.[3] In 1987, Holman was signed by the New York Jets in the off season but was originally cut during training camp.[4] He was re-signed by the Jets as a replacement player during the 1987 NFL players strike.[5][6] Holman had 15 receptions for 155 yards in three games and was released by the Jets when the strike ended.[3]
